Ruby says they'll ride him forward, but that he's not fully revved up yet (as you'd expect). -

It is very rare for a horse to be thrown into a grade 1 open chase on their first start outside of novice company... and we have two this weekend! Happily take both on considering the record of Turners and Brown Advisory winners in open races. Might Bite is the last BANC winner to land a grade 1 when winning the King George, he prepped in a listed race at Sandown first though. He subsequently never won again, losing his next 11 starts. The only other in the last 10 years to win a grade 1 was Don Poli who won the Lexus Chase, again prepping in an easier Aintree listed race. He never won again under rules after that in 13 starts. Obviously there has been plenty of bad luck in that time, Monkfish only ran once since in a chase and Topofthegame sadly never raced outside of novice company.
From the Turners, Defi Du Seuil is the last to win a grade 1, landing both the Tingle Creek and Clarence House, though did prep in the grade 2 Shloer Chase first. Yorkhill is a rare example of one going straight into a grade 1 from his novice season, where he was 8th of 12 in the Christmas Chase despite starting at 7/2. Black Hercules did go straight into the John Durkan where he was last of 5 despite starting as 2nd fav. Vautour did win the Ryanair but was beat on his first start in a grade 1 when 2nd in the King George.
For those that want some confidence then Galopin Des Champs won his first start in open company, when winning the grade 1 John Durkan at 2/9f, though it wasn't the strongest of renewals of the race (Fastorslow wasn't the force he is now).Comment

Aye, could be an interesting one at a big price. Kind of race where you might get a 'surprise'. Got the Patrick Mullins treatment though.Originally posted by Yosser View PostComment

Derryhassen Paddy declared at Uttoxeter on Sunday over 2m4f. He's one of my dark horses to follow for the AB.
Mossy Fen Road entered over hurdles at Hereford on Wednesday (2m and 2m4f). They seem have decided to skip bumpers with him. He's from my list of 4yo P2P horses to follow.Comment

Managed to get the first three home. Zillow disappointing but he may not have wanted that trip in those conditions. Winner is very nicely bred and I ignored him from a horses to follow perspective as he was trained by Fenton. HDB make him more attractive and he’ll be one for Henry to target his usual staying novice races with. Also, one of my Top 10 films too.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

Paddy gets the job done and showed great battling qualities. It was a reasonable enough race and Paddy will only be going up in trip I’d say as the season progresses.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

As a Gidleigh Park BANC backer I’m in two minds as to what I want to see tomorrow, surely 2m2f around Kempton will see him taken off his feet by Iberico Lord.
Maybe if GP fences well he’ll give the fav something to think about, it should tell Harry what distance is going to be suitable going forward anyway.Comment
